Appetizers

A few pre-tourney appetizers to get things going:

  • If you still haven’t filled out your bracket and need some expert advice on possible upsets, Pat Forde dishes on the possibilities.
  • If dark humor and bile are more your cup of tea, then this Slate article should be just the ticket
  • If you want to relive some “shining moments” from last year, click here
  • I’m not sure if my bracket will show up if you’re not logged into Yahoo, but hopefully it will. In case it doesn’t, my first round upset specials are Arkansas over USC (the Razorbacks should be hopping mad and have something to prove after receiving so much contempt last Sunday) and Winthrop over Notre Dame (the Eagles are due)
  • I’m picking Florida, UCLA, Georgetown and Ohio State in my Final Four.
  • I’m picking UCLA to take the prize. As talented as Florida is, it’s tough to repeat. UCLA went to the final last year, and I think they’re going to be experienced and hungry enough to chop down Oden and the Buckeyes in the final

    I’ve got Arkansas over USC, too. It’s not just disrespect from last Sunday. It’s that AR beat my Dores twice in a row to end the conference season. Also USC football has handed AR their pants after a sound spanking the last two years. I’m not saying football shame necessarily motivates a basketball team, but Fayetteville isn’t that big.

    That, and it’s just hard to respect ‘SC hoops. As far as I know, they’ve done nothing to earn it.

    You know what they say about great minds. I have the same Final Four my friend. Although I’m taking The Ohio State University to win it all. Oden’s a beast, man. I have them beating UCLA.

    Hey, if I can just avoid the cellar this year, I’ll be a happy man.
